There has been an increase in the number of clinical document uploads and views of the My Health Record, albeit from a low base, and the vast majority of GPs, pharmacists, public hospitals and pathology labs are now connected to the system, according to the Australian Digital Health Agency's annual report.
The agency says it has successfully met annual targets in terms of availability of the system and enhancements to it, although some of ADHA's other work programs have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, including the development of a implementation plan for nationally agreed interoperability principles.
